Programming Languages through the years

  • Plankalkul

    a programming language designed for engineering purposes. It was the first high-level non-von Neumann programming language to be designed for a computer.
  • FORTRAN

    Developed by IBM for use in highly intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction and other scientific computing.
  • Lisp

    a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized Polish prefix notation.
  • COBOL

    COBOL or Common Business Oriented Language is a programming language with emphasis on use in businesses for finance and administartive purposes
  • RPG

    a high-level programming language for business applications. RPG is an IBM proprietary language and its later versions are only available on IBM i or OS/400 based systems.
  • BASIC

    Created by Microsoft designed for ease of use. Stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
  • LOGO

    An educational programming language that is an adaptation and adaption of Lisp.
  • B

    Created by Ken Thompson with contributions from Dennis Ritchie written to fit within the small memory of minicomputers of that time.
  • MATH-MATIC

    a-pre FORTRAN programming compiler for UNIVAC and UNIVAC II. alternate name for AT-3
  • PASCAL

    a historically influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968–1969 as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C

    C was developed by Dennis Ritchie as a general purpose language to re implement the UNIX based OS.
  • ML

    a general purpose functional programming language that stands for metalanguage.
  • SQL

    Stuctured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system, or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system.
  • ADA

    A structured, wide spectrum, object-oriented high-level computer programming language. Ada is an International Standard.
  • C++

    created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an upgrade to C and designed with a bias towards system programming.
  • Python

    a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java.
  • Visual Basic

    a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model.
  • Delphi

    Delphi is a RAD or rapid application development tool created for Windows.
  • Java

    A general purpose computer programming language specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
  • JavaScript

    a dynamic computer programming language most commonly used as a part of web browsers
  • PHP

    a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.
